STORM Rare Fuchsias. These are very fine varieties, of recent introduction: Trailing Queen. Good plants for hanging pots or baskets are - - rare—as rare as thev are beautiful. This new Fuch- , sia never grows erect, but s always trails down over I side of the pot, and is the „ most beautiful of allplants for suspension. Luxuriant with- out being weedy, procumbent without being sprawling, clothed with handsome foliage, and load- ed with hundreds of gracefully drooping flowers, nothing more could be asked for as a"basket plant. A well grown plant of this Fuchsia is a weeping fountain of waxen scarlet and violet-purple bells, and it remains in this condi- tion for months at a time. Very robust anc"; easy to grow the branches reaching a length of four and five feet, blooming and grow- ing nearly the whole year The leaves are dark green, ribbed and rayed with red or crimson, which makes them luminous and hand- some. Flowers and buds long and graceful, borne in large clusters at the ends of the vines. When ex- panded the flowers are very large in size, tube and sepals bright ro*v scarlet, while the corolla at open- ing is a rich violet purple, chang- ing the second day to a fine shade of crimson, the two colors in the same Cluster contrasting beauti- fully. A good specimen will show hundreds of flowers at once, and the effect when suspended in a window, is truly glorious. Storm King. The double White.
